  The abundant marine resources of the Taiwan Strait, however, did not really contribute significantly to their economic improvement since the population was so small that the supply of fish always exceeded local demand. The more fish they harvested, the poorer their families became as the price declined. Hence, some Penghuans were forced to be seasonal fishers, oscillating back and forth between Kaohsiung and Penghu every year, while others migrated directly to Kaohsiung. The first wave of Penghuan migrants came mainly from Cimei. They began their migration during the colonial period and in general preferred to settle in Cihou rather than Gushan.
